Is Honor 8 nougat beta stable for daily use ?

Does it have a lot of bugs? How is the battery and etc?

For me, the battery life is crap, apart from that I'd say it's stable enough.

How can you say that ? I get more SoT on Nougat, like 5-6 hours with like 30-40 minutes of gaming.
On marshmallow i get like 5 hours.

No bugs, everything looks fine for me, fast and fluid. I get more battery on Nougat then on Marshamallow.

Had 5-6 on Marshmallow, on the Beta the battery is draining like crazy, usually have to charge twice a day with light usage. Factory reset didn't do nothing, same apps as before. Might do another factory reset or go back to Marshmallow after the holidays.

exactly the same issue....on marshmallow is a bit better cause of the extra power plans....i wonder if rooting and using greenify and amplify will help

It depends on number of apps you install , number of apps running in background . Time u keep you data connection open . all above will drain it battery faster so use minimal except basic apps

Figured all that already...always close all apps when the screen is off, never connect to wifi or data while the screen is off, smart power plan, reduce resolution, disable bloatware i don't use etc..... for sure i can have my phone without charging for 3 days but what is the point is my screen on time is 4hrs or maybe less in Nougat is even worse imo.... Even after emptying the battery charge to 100% and recalibrating twice
Also something irrelevant i noticed after downgrading back using another region update.app is that the theme store have more themes now that before they weren't there

No power plans on Nougat. It's something like this, for performance you dont need to do anything.
The batttery saver is in Phone Manager, then you have the option to lower the resolution which i dont think it works because nothing changing when i turn it on and the Ultra saver.

I noticed more standby battery drain in EMUI5.0 (B320) than EMUI4.1. I believe Android OS uses more power than before (I don't remember how much it uses in 4.1, but it uses a lot in 5.0).

the smart power plan is missing though!!! which i find it important cause sometimes you don't need neither perfomance nor battery save

Changing the resolution won't change anything in view . but look here , in order to display a video with 1080p resolution you are using much CPU power where as when u watching the same video at 480p resolution , it requires much juice . only thing u miss is display quality which is negligible.

Wow battery drain is epic i turn everything off and went to sleep with 60% and i wake up with my phone dead..

battery life mate 9 after update

Hi to every one,
I have mate 9 (MHA-L29C185) before was in B126 and I got OTA update to B138.
before the battery life was amazing and sometimes lastest 2 days without charging but now after said update I am charging the battery every single day with the same usage as before!
could anyone please advise WHY?

No difference here after the update, or if there is it's too small to notice. I'm still getting two full days of use.
Were your battery saving settings changed by the update?
Have you added any new apps?

I had the same experience but it's been getting better. I'm still not back to 10h SOT but I can easily reach 8-9 so all's good.
I assume that after upgrading your device needs to reindex everything again and that might explain the poor battery life right after upgrading. My advice is give it a couple of days to settle down.

That doesn't look right to me. Unless you have something important running in the background your Awake time should not be much more than Screen time

Please see my battery usage details & advice

Settings > Battery > Close Apps after screen lock.
Select All.
Leave it run for a day.

I updated to the new update as soon as I took it out of the package. I was losing about 3% per hour even during deep sleep. I would go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 6 and be between 80 to 85%. My LG V20 lost a total of 1 to 2% overnight. I tried resetting the phone, playing around with settings and setting applications to close after screen lock. I then found out it was the wifi killing my battery. The next night with wifi off but data on I lost 1% overnight. Now I get about 2 full days on a charge and around 8 hours SOT.

Especially that WiFi+ sucks a lot of juice! I have it off.

Gents,
Yesterday night before I sleep, the battery was 98% I closed the mobile and went to the bed.
a morning I wake up, and the battery drain from 98% to 80% while it was STBY and no activity!
I check the consumer (see attached) and found mail was from hardware & software especially Android OS!
Please anyone can help? before I update to B138 the mobile was amazing and during the night might only drop 3-4% which is normal, not 18% now :crying::crying:

Have the same experience with 138, draining 20% over the night, my iphone 7 Plus placed side by side with the Mate 9 drains 1% over night. Have done a factory reset but still the same issue. And dont tell my to close all apps when powering down the screen - it is a smartphone and not a dumbphone. Did not buy it to kill all benefits with a smartphone and big battery

looks like some apps hogging your phone so cant go to sleep and by the looks of it wifi scanning is on which keeps the wifi module on while its off consumes more batter, also have a look at the apps with push notification or apps which run in he background. At battery management check the apps which close or not after screen lock.

Whatever they say the actualization for the B138 radically changed the battery consumption ..... up to B126 was fine.
I did not realize because in the changelog it said that it optimized the consumption of the battery, it really optimized for the worse .... huawei(Idiots) go to sleep because I should have corrected the problem, but they are sprinkling for customers, I'm going to sell mine and I do not want any more xinocas.
greetings

I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

You're a lucky one ... from the reports I see, all malta is talking bad about this update.
Downgrade do you know how to do it for the C432 B126 Portugal? That's how it worked, because I do not understand any of this.

Granted I'm not getting 10h SOT like I did back with B126 but I'm getting 8-9h now with B138 so no complaints here.
This model has been released only 2½ months ago and I've already seen 2 firmware upgrades. They're clearly active, I wouldn't sweat it.

Honor 8 B380 available on L04/ATT yet?

Just wondering if anyone with an L04 in the US on ATT has gotten the B380 update.
I upgraded from MM's B162 to N's B360 and had a huge standby drain reducing my SoT from 6-7 hours to 2.5 hours.
Rolled back and don't want to upgrade to N unless B380 fixes the standby drain.
Thanks!

Did you do a factory reset after the update? I had the same problem, did a reset and now back to very adequate SOT at max. 7 hours.

Yes, strangely -- not only did I do a factory reset after the B360 update, I also rolled back to B120 and did a factory reset after every update stage through B360, and still had the problem.
Interestingly, my battery life was back up to 6-7 hrs SoT for four days after the second rollback/update, but that went away and returned to 2.5 hours even though I tried resetting again. Don't think I can do a rollback every week though...
So I am still on MM.

For you to get the most out of these stock ROMs you have to flash the update, factory reset then just use the phone for 4/5 days before the phone will learn your usage habits and start to make the most of of your battery life.
Every time I update I reset, for the first few days the battery is all over the place, different every day but then it learns and your battery life will get back to what it should be.
The fact that you say that you keep rolling back and resetting is what is making your battery life bad.
Just the phone a chance to settle and learn.
These Chinese developers are clever.

It is mate yes but I think that we these guys have made and are still developing is so different to what has been done before.
If you look at the AI stuff that they have put on some of there phones that at the mo can only be used in China to be able to see where they are going.
I updated my phone on Monday on Tuesday the battery was all over the place. Yesterday was a little better today is amazing.
I can charge my phone to 100% in the morning and get a full 24 hours of hammering it.
That is good enough for me

I think I'll wait till the next update and try N. If I ever get it on L04. I will bet money, even after letting your phone learn your habits, that M still has superior battery life.

I'm afraid that will be the case, yes. Going from M to N on my old Nexus 6P also dropped battery life pretty noticeably.
I had high hopes for the new deep Doze, but apparently the devs really messed something up.

But in fact, while having the L09 Italian version, I have not received anything. Just like me, many others have reported the total absence B380 update that appears only in the application FF. I begin to think that being passed from MM to Nougat (B360) by Hi-care was a big mistake. Any of you know by chance the release timing ???

Anyone else experiencing poor battery?

I bought my Pixel in Nov 2016. Battery lasted on average about 1 day & 10-20 minutes based on my personal usage. In the last few weeks, it barely lasts 24 hours. I haven't added any new apps. My battery usage info doesn't show anything unusual or an app consuming a lot of battery. I downloaded GSam Battery Monitor but that doesn't give details on app usage unless you are rooted which I am not.
Have others also experienced poor battery although the phone is not even a year old?
Any ideas on what it can be? I haven't changed my usage either (I only monitor it on weekdays since that usage is basically the same each day).
Just an example here: took off charger 52 mins ago and it's already at 89%.

What software are you running? If you don't get the OTA for 8.0, I'd enroll in the Beta. This will prompt you to get the official release at this time. Once that's installed, I'd Factory Reset data and start from scratch.
Alternatively, you can uninstall apps one by one to see if there's an increase in performance/battery life. Also, maybe try wiping cache to see if that helps.

Yes mine went from 5-6 hours SOT to maybe 3 1/2 to 4. Horrible. I've flashed countless factory images. Never abkr to figure it out.

I wouldn't expect it's related to the age of the device necessarily. I only just got my Pixel a few weeks ago and it averages about 4 hours SOT over 24 hours with little left in the tank. It's got a small battery.

Mine is terrible on Oreo

You have to give the software about 2-3 days to learn your usage so that it can set everything for you, if you just installed Android Oreo, then, it's going to be at least a day or two before your battery corrects it self.

I have been on the Oreo dev preview, back to Nougat, now back on Oreo and the battery life just has gotten to be terrible. Factory wipes every time I load a new version on Android.
I get about 1.5 to 2 hrs SoT in a 12 hour period and it just about is dead. I have surrendered to the fact that I will just never had good battery life as long as I own an Android phone and I charge them any chance I get.

Personally I use Wakelock Detector on a rooted phone, but it may be possible to get information without root using ADB.
https://plus.google.com/+GeorgeTanner/posts/gT5f7XntmEu
The Wakelock Detector instructions for not having root are more thorough.

I am still on Android 7.1.2 running the latest update - NHG47Q (I think this is the latest). I have not tried the Oreo beta but would hope the battery life will improve since that is one of the new features.
I have heard that one should factory reset when going to a major update like 8.0. I just hate to reinstall everything (apps & settings) from scratch. (I am not rooted.)

Shouldn't have to do that... I've never bothered and it's not caused me any issues. I think people who suggest you do that are probably the same ones who suggest you wipe cache and dalvik cache all the time (burn).

The screen takes an awful lot of battery on this device.

My battery life was getting worse, and a factory reset a few days all fixed it.

My battery drains really fast after I upgraded to Oreo 8.1. 30 minutes of Youtube used up 20% of my battery. It used to be only 10%.

I am,went from 5.5 on nougat to 4 on Oreo to 5 again on 8.1 dp1 and back to 4 on final.....sot of course. No change in usage

try getting rid of Back up to Google Drive took my SOT from 2hrs to 5 very odd

Significant battery drain with Beta 3. Anyone else seeing this ?

My typical day used to get 35-40 hours of total time (not SOT) on Nougat and if I used airplane mode at night lasted 2 work days most of the time.
with Oreo Beta3, I am getting 15 hours give or take an hour. Anyone else seeing this ? Oreo Beta2 drained faster than 7.1, but by a relatively small amount.

no difference for me when switching from beta 2 to beta 3

I'm coming from 7.1.1 and yes, standby battery drain is much worse on OB3. I'm seeing a lot of bluetooth_timer wakelocks as one of the culprits.

It does say right on the download page that you will experience battery drain from Bluetooth

I think the battery drain issue was only with the first Oreo build. I haven't had any issues with mine.
I was on OB1 and after I went to OB2 some thing's didn't seem right so I did a factory reset and now on OB3 it's still great.

I've noticed no difference in battery performance at all. I went from 7.1.1 to OB2 to OB3 now. Device is an unlocked model (factory direct) running on Sprint, no root.

So my usage is pretty heavy, but SOT is low, mostly text/email and quick in/out.
Found the culprit. Had moved from Launcher3 to PixelLauncher, that was the hog .. and it showed up as a system consumption. Moved back to Launcher3 and I am back to OB2 levels of drain.

Forgot to mention that I run the Nova launcher with Google feed add-on and I'm a heavy user also

I'm having also a significant battery drain coming from OB2 to OB3. I haven't installed any new apps. What app would you recommend for looking for the culprit? I see everything normal in the Android settings battery monitor.

Yup, my battery life went to crap from ob2 to ob3. I noticed it immediately, i then did a factory reset which fixed the issue for me.

battery got better for me with each beta. now it's better than nougat for me.

Adb log tends to be pretty useful. I have also run top from the adb shell to get the first hint .. and then strategies vary.

Sometimes, it has happened 3 times already, I plug the phone to charge, the screen will say "charging rapidly", the message light will turn yellow. Come to check on the phone 30 minutes later and the phone will be at the same % that I left it before charging it.
Yes I made sure it was plugged and yes it said "charging rapidly". However once it's charged, the battery life in good.

No charging issues at all.
20 hours on and only down 25%.
Estimates 2 days left.
Not doing anything with the phone. Reading a little news and that's about it.
Waiting for unlock so I can dump Sprint.

Oreo Beta 3. But that shouldn't matter, cause that's a security thing plus essential should have said Sprint users don't sideload and test this for us cause your phone will be borked and we aren't going to do squat for you. Hahahaha.

Yup for me nougat battery is way better than oreo b3..

Omg it's horrible. I am getting 15 hours but 8 of those are in airplane mode wifi only at night and the rest as my second device airplane mode still but wifi and Bluetooth partial times
